Hi



The powersteering on our Mazda 626 2.0 year 2000 van got contaminated with sprinkler (washer) fluid.



GAAAAAAAAAAAA.



Luckily engine didnt get started, so hopefully.............. it is just a flush of the resoirvoir?



But, what is best/easiest way to do it?



Got 10 thumbs and 2 left hands..............



Best regards



Jens

Get a turkey baster from the grocery store (long tube with a rubber bulb on the end).

Suck out ALL the fluid from the reservoir.

Refill with whatever correct fluid is specified by Mazda.

Relax.

Ditto the turkey baster idea...works great...
